My mother passed away in 1990. I miss her so! She was a professional singer, night clubs, the radio, etc. She had her own radio program, just 15 minutes, once a week. She dedicated the show to local shutins. They would write for requests and she would talk to them over the radio like she knew them and would fill their requests for their favorite song. She always sang the "Mothers Song" near Mother's Day. I asked her to write the recitation that she used before she actually sang the song. Some of you may recognize it.......

RECITATION

You know folks, there's an old saying we cannot deny,
We never miss the water, until the well runs dry.
But I never really knew just how true that was,
Until I started to roam and left my dearest Pal at home.

Oh I can remember how she used to brag to the neighbors and
tell them how smart I was, you know
But all the time I was just a fool, I mean a fool that learned a
lesson, a lesson that is right.

So when your mother scolds you,
Please just listen, and don't fight
cause when she's gone, you'll realize that your mother is
always right.

M O T H E R
M is for the million things she gave me
O means only that she's growing old
T is for the tears she shed to save me
H is for her heart as pure as gold
E is for her eyes with love light shining
R for right and right she'll always be

Put them altogether, they spell MOTHER
A word that means the world to me.

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful mothers out there!

Awe.. thats sweet.. thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for sharing.....Mothers are always wonderful wether we know it or not. Happy Mothers Day to all.

Love it and did recognize only the one part where it is spelled. Do you mind if I copy it and paste it on FB for all the mothers out there?

I don't think we appreciate them until we become one, too bad my mom was not here to see it and meet her beautiful GD, but I bet she's looking down

Beautiful and very true

I know she is!

Wow. You made my eyes tear up. I lost my DMIL 3 yrs ago and I still miss her every single day. She was a sweet, sweet woman and I can only hope to be the lady she was.
